When we hear of the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people in Germany probably automatically think back two thousand years to the time of Christ, because one of the twelve apostles Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the biblical accounts of the New Testament, he is nicknamed "Didymus," which means "twin" in German. In this case, however, the chosen patron of the former monastery and current retreat house—and also the namesake of this place in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm—refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118 to 1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his bishopric and martyrdom. Incidentally, Canterbury Cathedral (Kent, England) can be visited—at least virtually in the komoot system—at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/231266

Near Mürlenbach, the Kylltal cycle path leads over this narrow bridge. From here you have a beautiful view along the stream and over the wooded slopes.

Bertrada Castle is a fascinating piece of history that is anchored in the region. The assumption that it was built on the remains of a Roman fort gives the place a mystical touch, even if there is no clear evidence for this. The connection to Bertrada, the mother of Charlemagne, gives the castle a special historical significance, even if the first documented mentions only appear in the 13th century. The castle's eventful history, in particular its occupation by the French revolutionary troops, shows how strongly the political currents of the time shaped the region.
